Generation of achromatic Bessel beams using a compensated spatial light modulator.

چکیده
We report the creation of white-light, achromatic Bessel beams using a spatial light modulator and a prism to compensate for the dispersion. Unlike the Bessel beam created by a refractive axicon, this achromatic beam has a radial wavevector and hence an intensity cross-section which is independent of wavelength. The technique also lends itself to the generation of higher order Bessel beams with an on-axis optical vortex and associated orbital angular momentum.

Generation of multiple Bessel beams for a biophotonics workstation.
We present a simple method using an axicon and spatial light modulator to create multiple parallel Bessel beams and precisely control their individual positions in three dimensions. This technique is tested as an alternative to classical holographic beam shaping commonly used now in optical tweezers. Various applications of precise control of multiple Bessel beams are demonstrated within a sing...
متن کاملExperimental measurement of the “self-healing” of the spatially inhomogeneous states of polarization of radially and azimuthally polarized vector Bessel beams
We experimentally measured the “self-healing” of the spatially inhomogeneous states of polarization of radial and azimuthal polarized vector Bessel beams. Radial and azimuthal polarized vector Bessel beams were generated via a digital version of Durnin’s method, using a spatial light modulator in concert with a liquid crystal q-plate. As a proof of principle, their intensities and spatially inh...
متن کاملIntensity and phase measurements of nondiffracting beams generated with a magneto-optic spatial light modulator.
Nondiffracting beams are of interest for optical metrology applications because the size of the beam does not change as the beam propagates. However, accuracy can be increased if the diameter of the beam is smaller. One technique for accomplishing this is to use the dark axial intensity profile associated with a higher-order nondiffracting Bessel function beam. We generate these higher-order Be...
متن کاملDigital generation of shape-invariant Bessel-like beams.
Bessel beams have been extensive studied to date but are always created over a finite region inside the laboratory. Means to overcome this consider multi-element refractive designs to create beams that have a longitudinal dependent cone angle, thereby allowing for a far greater quasi non-diffracting propagation region. Here we outline a generalized approach for the creation of shape-invariant B...
متن کاملAdaptive Generation and Diagnostics of Linear Few-Cycle Light Bullets
Recently we introduced the class of highly localized wavepackets (HLWs) as a generalization of optical Bessel-like needle beams. Here we report on the progress in this field. In contrast to pulsed Bessel beams and Airy beams, ultrashort-pulsed HLWs propagate with high stability in both spatial and temporal domain, are nearly paraxial (supercollimated), have fringe-less spatial profiles and thus...
